But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.

And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God.

For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.

For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to d

Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.

But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me.

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered.

And you will know the trut

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God.

And he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.

What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?

Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness.

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.

Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame sha

But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance?

You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound.

Better is the end of a thing than its beginning, and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and a

Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!

The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
